The area is often associated with the Agnelli family of Fiat fame as the family estate is located there. Members of the Agnelli family have lived in the country house since 1811. Marella Agnelli, widow of Gianni Agnelli, lived there.[4][5]
The family estate has a football pitch which is sometimes used by Juventus for friendlies or training. It hosts an annual intra-squad friendly between the first team and the Primavera.
